Winter Salt Week was so much fun, we wanted to give one more bonus episode of Less Salty with Phil Gaebler, paired with the full list of recordings from last week’s expert talks.

Our focus with Less Salty with Phil Gaebler is to help property owners learn how to minimize salt use, know when to use salt and know about responsible salt use in the City of Madison. 

We are excited to bring you unique content from local experts each day with statewide live webinars at 12:30 p.m. on YouTube all week long. 

Our focus with Less Salty with Phil Gaebler is to help property owners learn how to minimize salt use, know when to use salt and how, plus making sure companies you hire, neighbors and community know about responsible salt use in the City of Madison.
